    He's 32 and if he stays healthy and plays 10 more years and averages 30 hr's a year he'll make it to the neighborhood of 800 HR's!.

    That kid Howard at Philly is the fastest to 100 hrs'...I wonder how many he'll hit?

    And Bonds tied the record tonight.

    Injuries play a big part in records. It was not many years ago that Griffy was on track to break the record. Then he got injured one year and has had injuries almost every year since.

    What a day ARod to 500 and Bonds to 755.

    Bill you're right injuries robbed Ken Griffey Jr. of the his shot at the record.
